Great news for Ford, of course, and great news for all 13 Toyota Tundra owners.

The new design matches their delivery methods. Ninja-like and stealthy. They sneak up to your house, ring the doorbell without anyone hearing or seeing them, slap that note on your door, and delay your next-day package by two days because "you weren't home". Perfect redesign, IMO.

I sat down with BMW's Head of Design Adrian van Hooydonk at the Geneva Motor Show. We chatted about the i line of cars and X6Ms wearing the same logo, smaller Minis, and the future of the brand. One thing was clear: BMW plans to go all the way with carbon fiber. But it's going to take a while.

I miss my Q45. She was definitely the most fun car I've ever owned.

Reverse: I Miss Drive-Ins

It's not really my family and friends choice whether I live or die. That is my decision. It also shouldn't be the government's decision. Just my $0.02.

Maybe you like being ordered to do things that are completely irrelevant, but I personally, do not. I bet you support anything that the government says is a good idea, huh.

Yup, but we don't have that here. When universal healthcare becomes the norm, then bring on the mandatory seatbelts. :-)

All of your examples are cases where it would affect other people, therefore, should be regulated. Me alone in my car, does not.

Might seem stupid, but I still think that seat belts are the worst car regulation. I agree, they increase safety. They reduce deaths in accidents. But I don't think the government should tell me that I HAVE to be safe when seated in my own car. How does my not wearing a safety belt harm others around me? Does me

It doesn't matter. In redneck idealism, it's an American car no matter where it's built because it's a Ford.

Plus, they can be made on the cheap if you pay a visit to your local junkyard.

Well, the test mule for the Jaguar XJ220 was a Ford Transit. Keep that in mind. haha

We don't question what Saab does in their madness. :-)

Not the ones in the front.

Easy. Leases. Most of them are leased, not owned. You can lease a 3-series BMW for $299 a month here. A Silverado can be leased properly equipped for $399 at the right times, no more than $599 at the wrong ones.

A Honda Odyssey is $42,000 in premium trim. Most SUVs are pushing $40k, up to $90k for an Escalade. $50k isn't that much for a wagon anymore. :-)

The Mazda RX-8?

So, I'm guessing that these trucks don't use air brakes like their on-road counterparts? lol
